Daily reminder that for some reason this isn't Poison/Normal.

>>25084743
Dark because criminal org uses it.

Not a fan of the decision either, but whaddya do?

>>25084838
Dark because it's using a nasty-ass smell to fuck you over with instead of just fighting.

>>25084743
I'm not fully buying the Dark type but slapping on Normal is even more stupid.

>>25084860
Perhaps. Fitting for Pyroar I think, but Heliolisk is just kinda that weird cousin sitting in corner....

I wouldn't have minded if it were pure Poison, if not for the fact that it has that whole cream-white, Normal type mammal look goin' on.

>>25084743
Normal was originally Light, and wouldn't change it when they decided they wanted dark after all. Note how umbreon was poison, like that was supposed to be dark.

>>25084860
there's kind of a pokemon trentd where they give wild animals have normal/(random type) to make them fantastical

like Girafarig, Pyroar, Heliosk, Bibarel, and Diggersby.

Skutank would've filled the Normal/Poison position, and now I'm wondering what a non-skunk Normal/Poison pokemon would be.

>>25084950
Hoatzin, platypus, echidna/porcupine with poison quills, sewer rat, city pigeon, possum

Heliolisk will never make sense to me. I can't see anything in it that would even remotely warrant a Normal typing.

Also I always figured out that the front half of Girafarig was Normal and the back was Psychic.

>>25084924
Dark was psychic too I guess, a lot of psychics then had dark themes like eating dreams

>>25084964
A hoatzin can fly though....(Sorta) I know they smell bad but I don't think they'd make one a Poison type just for that. If anything I can see it beng a Flying Grass or Fire type before Poison.

(Side note: A hoatzin is the closest thing to a real-life phoenix you're ever going to see.)

If they do a platypus I think they'll stay true to the animal's inherent weirdness; I don't even think it would be a Water type. I think they'd make it Electric/Fire, or some other thing that no one expects and makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

>>25084844
So.. you could almost say that the smell is so bad it can POISON?

>Platypi

It's never been explicitly stated that Psyduck/Golduck are based on platypi, but they have more in common with them than ducks.

>Only duck-like traits they have are the bills
>No wings
>Mammal like tails and claws
>Doduo and Dodrio are Flying-type because the type was originally called Bird, Psyduck and Golduck don't have this type
>Not in the Flying egg group; are instead in the Field egg group, meaning they can't breed with bird-like Pokemon but can breed with mammals
